Question

Thinking of going the bump steer and eibach route from Powerstation but would like some feedback on the improvements I can expect. Thanks

I've had Eibachs and geometry done on MY97 at TSL and the transformation was amazing!
Drops it about 30mm and firms up the ride but not too harsh. Certainly feels tighter round corners, cut down the understeer but didn't cure it.
I've no experience of the bump steer mod but by all accounts on here it is worth doing.
Not sure if there is any need to do it if you've had the geometry done though.

Don't count on 30mm drop, mine only went down about 10mm, made it go round corners better though!

I got Eibachs fitted to my MY99, 1 year after having bump-steer and anti-lift kit fitted. Springs are certainly more compliant and really come into their own over wet bumpy B roads where the car is far more composed when 'pushing on' . The ride feels softer during normal driving....due to the progressive nature of the springs.
The only downside I've noticed is a slight loss of steering precision on flat smooth roads were the progressive spring soaks up some of the steering input.
